These strangers must then agree on a decision and deliver their verdict on the path to take. For the person with the dilemma the process is emotional, sometimes difficult and often eye-opening.

SEASONS

The Audience in the second programme meet 31-year-old Andreena Bogle-Walton, a single mum who has a serious dilemma: whether to send her ten-year-old daughter Renee to Devon to live with her father, or to keep her in London living with her. Andreena wants her daughter to have the best possible start in life and thinks Devon might provide greater opportunities and a more promising education, but she worries they might lose the close bond they have by being separated for months at a time. Unable to decide what is best, Andreena has asked The Audience for help. She will live her life in front of 50 total strangers, and with their support and advice, Andreena hopes she can decide what's best for her, and her daughter's future.
